Tinubu’s Aides Tackle ADC, Reject ‘Final Year’ Narrative

Published on March 29, 2026

Aides to President Bola Tinubu have strongly contested recent criticisms levied Democratic Congress (ADC), particularly the assertion that the President is in his “final year” in office. This rebuke follows a birthday message from Bolaji Abdullahi, the spokesperson for the ADC, who unleashed a series of criticisms targeting the Tinubu administration.

In his statement, Abdullahi highlighted escalating fuel prices, rising insecurity, widespread economic hardship, and various other pressing concerns as key indicators of the administration’s failures. He emphasized that these challenges have deeply affected the lives of Nigerians, warranting a robust critique of the government’s performance.

Responding to these allegations, Tinubu’s aides characterized the ADC’s claims as baseless and politically motivated. They argued that such narratives undermine the administration’s accomplishments and distract from ongoing efforts to remedy the country’s pressing issues.

The aides reiterated that President Tinubu remains committed to serving his full term and addressing the challenges facing the nation. They pointed out the administration’s initiatives aimed at revamping the economy, improving security measures, and mitigating the effects of fuel price volatility.

The aides further accused the ADC of attempting to politicize the hardships faced , asserting that governance involves confronting and overcoming these challenges rather than making sensational claims devoid of factual basis.

As political discourse intensifies, the tension between Tinubu’s administration and the ADC illustrates the broader challenges facing Nigeria, including economic reforms, security issues, and public trust in governance. The coming months are likely to reveal how these dynamics will shape the political landscape ahead of future elections.
